History

In the historical past, the village was under control of the Viscounty of Turenne, with a castle which they owned until the 13th century before it passed to other families.[3] The castle was rebuilt in 1545 in a renaissance style and survived until 1860 when it was demolished.[3] A tower remains.[3]

Its slopes grew grapes for wine up until the 1880's when phylloxera destroyed its main industry but a few vineyards remain growing grape for Vin paillé (straw wine) now classified as the Corrèze (AOC) wine region.[3]
